Is 300mm out of Z662? I don't have a copy here with me.
In any case, the Pipeline Act has a section in it that states coverage must be the greater of either Z662 specs or 1.4m within a highway right of way. It also states that for pipe under a road, the casing or thicker wall pipe must extend the entire width if the right if way. Hopefully it's already built to the higher spec because it would be an insane cost to case the pipe along the length of 14th that the new road would be on.
